Just read the writeup for one on EBAY.  You can't believe everything you
read on the internet, but this is probably the most realistic writeup of
the electric supercharger yet.  

Basically, it says it can generate ~2PSI, which I think is possible. 
Also says it requirese 7.5amps... at 110 volts!!!  Not only do you need
an inverter, this is going to be sucking down more than 70 amps from your
alternator!  Time to get that alternator replaced....

ps claims 10-20hp.
